We are the Fair City Rollers, from Perth, Scotland. Established in 2009, we are a skater owned and operated team. ... We were established back in 2009 when Roller Derby was still fairly new to Scotland and were the fifth Scottish Roller Derby league to be formed. We skated in our first bout against Edinburgh’s Auld Reekie Roller Girls on Saturday September 4th 2010. Since then we have bouted against teams from all over the UK, and we have seen Roller Derby grow from an unknown into one of the fastest growing sports in Britain. Roller Derby has always been a sport which is skater owned and operated, and we are no different, we would encourage anyone who wants to be a part of our league to get involved in running the league, as well as simply skating. We took an extended public bout hiatus in 2015 & 2016 to build up our numbers and were very happy to have come back with our first full line up team ever in Pack From the Dead in April 2017! As with everything, Roller Derby ground to a halt in 2020 thanks to Covid 19. With regular Zoom calls and, when life started to open up again, outdoor skates we stuck together as a League ready to get back to the sport we love in 2022.
